I don't always save my poems, but when I do...

You get this. It's loosely based off the perspective of when this bugger ran off from home: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3789796/

Mainly since it's been about 2 years around this time he passed on and also because I haven't posted anything in a while.

Not one of my better ones, but like I said, the better ones I did were throwaways. Granted, I like to keep poems simple otherwise people miss the main point and people don't like having to over analyze that kind of stuff.


A Nightly Stroll

By Kazufox

Time after time,

Day by day,

Sitting at the window looking out in wonder,

Only to just gaze upon the outside world,

While locked up in a fortress of a shelter.

Then one night,

My brother said to me,

As he picked away at the door handle,

"The door is unlocked!"

"Hey, why don't we explore?"

I perched myself on top of the open window,

Then leapt over into the backyard,

It was very wet outside,

I got away yet had nowhere to go,

My feet were sopping wet with water.

I trotted around in the night,

Lit up by the outside lights of houses,

Being out on my own,

It was a nice feeling,

A sense of adventure and wonder,

I walked around passing home after home,

Avoiding the concrete path,

As two large glowing eyes like a monster pass by,

Besides, the wet grass felt softer

Beneath my padded feet.

Yet, I felt ill as time passed,

Longing to be home,

The tasty food, the warm bed,

So I hurried my way back,

And found myself meowing happily,

In my master's loving embrace.
